Nottingham Forest 3-2 Southampton: Mistakes cost Saints again
Southampton's fighting finish was admirable.
It followed a promising performance in defeat by Manchester United on Thursday, meaning those looking for positives will see a side still battling despite a bleak situation.
They continue to make errors leading to goals, however - a trait they must stop if they are to have any chances of staying up.
Jan Bednarek's loss of possession, which gifted Callum Hudson-Odoi the chance to score Forest's second, was the 17th time a Southampton mistake has led to a goal this season.
Aston Villa are the next most generous team with 10 such errors.
Manager Ivan Juric correctly said the Saints are struggling to play well for a full 90 minutes.
Identifying that issue is the easy part, finding the solution less so.
